Was always told it can be induced by stressful events, and stressful events always preceeded the occurrences of it (adoption, to vets for shots, to vets for declawing). Something to definitely be mindful of in the future though. - Stevo

A quick update... sister hasn't hissed in a few days, and is now only cautious/indifferent around him. Still a little ways to go before they're their usually bouncy couple running around the house but progress is progress. Paws, the declawed 'semi feral' tabby is still recovering from his...

There is a lot less hostility now, but now he is sick. Sneezing, eye is puffy and draining. This is so frustrating, and $$$ draining. This has happened each of the times we've had to use the cat carrier... stresses him out and he's gotten sick (3x in the last year). The other 2 times up was...
